Mesa Boogie Stiletto - Crunch preset
Verified · 92/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.
The Stiletto is Mesa Boogie's British-voiced EL34-powered amplifier, designed to offer an alternative character to the company's 6L6-based designs. Its EL34 power section produces a stiffer, more compressed response with prominent midrange focus and a cutting high end that distinguishes it clearly from the Dual Rectifier and Mark series. The Stiletto filled an important gap in the Mesa lineup for players who preferred European power tube character within a high-quality American-built chassis.
